The highly anticipated neo-Western series Marshals has finally premiered, serving as a sequel to Taylor Sheridan's acclaimed show Yellowstone. This spin-off brings back Luke Grimes in the role of Kayce Dutton, following his journey as a rancher who joins an elite unit of U.S. Marshals to deliver justice across Montana. With the Yellowstone Ranch now in his past, Kayce's new adventures promise to captivate audiences with intense drama and action.
Where to Watch Marshals: US and UK Details
The platform for streaming Marshals varies significantly based on geographic location. For viewers in the United States, the series airs on Sunday nights on CBS, marking a notable departure from Paramount Plus, which typically hosts Sheridan's other projects.

Returning Cast and Character Absences
Fans of Taylor Sheridan's expansive universe will be delighted to see familiar faces reprising their roles in Marshals. Alongside Luke Grimes, the cast includes Brecken Merrill as Tate Dutton, Mo Brings Plenty as Mo, and Gil Birmingham as Thomas Rainwater. However, one notable absence is Kelsey Asbille, who played Kayce's wife Monica in Yellowstone. This has sparked curiosity among viewers about the fate of Kayce's family following the events of the original series.
Why Marshals Airs on CBS Instead of Paramount Plus
The decision to broadcast Marshals on CBS in the US, rather than Paramount Plus, was explained by CBS Entertainment president Amy Reisenbach. She highlighted the success of linear broadcasts for shows like Yellowstone and Tulsa King, noting that the network aims to leverage both streaming and traditional television platforms. Reisenbach stated, "I think all of our shows right now are both streaming and linear. That’s what we’re focused on, is trying to make our shows work on both platforms."
Addressing concerns about the production budget and visual quality, given Sheridan's reputation for high-budget series, Reisenbach assured that CBS does not compromise on quality, asserting, "We don’t do cheap." This commitment ensures that Marshals maintains the cinematic feel that fans expect from Sheridan's work.
In summary, Marshals offers a fresh take on the Yellowstone saga, with a mix of returning characters and new storylines. Whether watching on CBS in the US or Paramount Plus in the UK, viewers can look forward to weekly episodes that continue the legacy of Taylor Sheridan's gripping Western narratives.
